This is a three part series that will cover stoichiometry problems in solutions. Getting things started we will be learning about acid-base titrations. Titration is used to determine the number of moles of an unknown by adding a known amount of reagent that reacts with the unknown stoichiometrically. Titrations can involve acid-base reactions and oxidation-reduction reactions. An acid-base titration involves the addition of a known volume of a basic (or acidic) substance of known concentration to a known volume of an acidic (or basic) solution of unknown concentration.
Then, we move on to solving titration problems. In a redox titration, moles of an unknown reductant (or oxidant) are determined by adding a known amount of a standardized oxidant (or reductant) that reacts with the unknown stoichiometrically. Knowing the stoichiometry of a titration allows for the calculation of the concentration of an unknown.
Finally, we finish this series with gravimetric analysis. Gravimetric analysis is a technique for quantifying an unknown substance by converting the substance to a known product that can be isolated and weighed. Precipitation reactions are often used in gravimetric analysis. For example, an unknown metal chloride can be identified using gravimetric analysis. The chloride ion can be precipitated with silver ions. This precipitate can then be dried and weighed, and the mass can be used to determine the moles of chloride ions present.
This series of lessons was selected from a broader, comprehensive course, Chemistry. This course and others are available from Thinkwell, Inc. The full course can be found at http://www.thinkwell.com/student/product/chemistry. The full course covers atoms, molecules and ions, stoichiometry, reactions in aqueous solutions, gases, thermochemistry, Modern Atomic Theory, electron configurations, periodicity, chemical bonding, molecular geometry, bonding theory, oxidation-reduction reactions, condensed phases, solution properties, kinetics, acids and bases, organic reactions, thermodynamics, nuclear chemistry, metals, nonmetals, biochemistry, organic chemistry, and more. The course features three renowned chemistry professors: Dean Harman, a professor of Chemistry at the University of Virginia and Gordon Yee, an associate professor of Chemistry at Virginia Tech and Tarek Sammakia, a professor of chemistry at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
